Kilcar Holiday Homes Donegal

Kilcar is a small village in the south west of County Donegal, Ireland. The official gaelic name, Cill Charthaigh, means “The Church of St. Cartha”.

The village itself consists of a main street with a church at one end and two textile factories at the other end. In between there are a few shops and five pubs.

The village has the principal tweed hand weaving facility in Donegal, with a shop selling high quality tweed products. There is also a factory producing decorative timber flooring and a producer of seaweed based cosmetic products.

Hill walking is popular, and to cater for that, the Kilcar Way Walk allows one a choice of three different, but equally beautiful routes all starting in the village: – one loops around the western foothills of Mulnanaff – another runs east and north-east to Kilcar Forest – the third skirts around Tawny. Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker own a holiday home together in the area.
